86 mm rain for yesterday....3.4” . This morning, we have a few patches of blue sky...BUT...the experts reckon that ex tropical cyclone Owen will head back north and intensify. just have to wait and see.
Meanwjile the depression is just off Mackay.

My first sighting of a dugong...Ball Bay is a gazetted dugong sanctuary, but a certain "pro fisherman" used to set his nets in the bay and drag the nets which scraped the seagrass away. Consequently, no one has seen any in the bay for many years.
It headed out towards Brampton Island.
Did you notice in the photos, the cyclonic conditions we are experiencing from cyclone 'Owen'??
Cheers, Bobj.

Cyclone Owen is gathering strength in the Gulf Of Carpentaria and will move east and track down the coast of Qld fairly quickly, ending up over the Sunshine Coast on Sunday. Quite humid NW of Mackay, at 79% and 30 C.
